Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a site proposed for residential development, which lay within the area of the shrunken medieval/post-medieval settlement of Pillerton Priors. Earthworks had been noted on aerial photographs of the site, and a number of Romano-British metal artefacts had been found to the north and west. A number of 10th-12th century boundary gullies and ditches, and the post holes of a timber structure, were recorded. Finds suggested the presence of a smithy in the settlement, and perhaps hornworking in the vicinity. Later medieval boundary features and a post-medieval gully containing 17th-18th century pottery were also revealed. Earlier finds included a prehistoric worked flint, a Roman coin and a small amount of Romano-British pottery. A number of the excavated features corresponded to the earthworks visible on the surface, although some did not. [Au(adp)] |
